We wish to provide hope to those with terminal liver disease by informing them that at a fraction of the cost abroad, liver transplants are being done routinely by the expert liver transplant surgeon Dr Subash Gupta at Apollo Hospital in India, with results that match the best in the world.

The 23-year-old student has undergone a surgery to remove her
gangrenous intestine. The doctors treating her had said that she is
“stable, alert and conscious” but she remained on ventilator support.

“Intestinal failure occurs when most of the intestine has to be removed
surgically as in this case. Intestinal transplant is the only chance of
survival with a normal functioning intestine for the victim,” Dr
Samiran Nundy, Chairman, Department of Surgical Gastroenterology and
Organ Transplantation said.

The private hospital has performed India’s first and only living donor
intestinal transplant which has been reported in peer reviewed journal
this year, Rana said.

According to Dr Naimish Mehta, Transplant Surgeon at SGRH, who was
involved in India’s first Living Donor Intestinal Transplant Surgery,
“there are two ways by which intestinal graft can be obtained, either
from a brain dead donor or from a living related donor. Both these
options could be available for the victim once her condition
stabilises”.
